The Wheels on the Bus (Board Book)

Cutest book!

Love the book and the colors. Also like that is hard cover it last more since regular paper kids tend to rip it off. But if it’s hard cover definitely do buy it. Great for kids to see all the colors and they get to sing along.

My daughter loves the Wheels on the Bus song. The words in the book are slightly different than the original song, but that's ok. It's nice to change things up sometimes. Each page has adorable pictures that go along with the theme, and there are cut-outs on each page that highlight different aspects of the story and theme. I recommend you sing this to your child while reading it to them and point out the different details in the pictures. The overall story focuses on a bus headed to a birthday party and its various passengers, including those trying to catch the bus with their different party supplies, such as balloons, cakes, etc.

This book is just ok, it's sturdy and has great pictures but I get really hung up on the words. They aren't all the traditional ones I expected, the verses are "wheels on the bus go round and round, horn on the bus goes beep beep beep, wipers on the bus go swish swish swish (all fine and good) and then we get driver on the bus says tickets please (I just say move on back instead since my boys can't read yet to know the difference) then parents on the bus say chat chat chat, babies on the bus say wah wah wah, and people on the bus say shh shh shh. They aren't big differences so it's still 4 stars but I find it greatly annoying and I would have chosen a different version if I had realized it before purchase. Someone unfamiliar with the song would probably enjoy it (like a non musical first time parent who has forgotten all the words since childhood). Also, it says something other than "all through the town" after each verse. I can't remember exactly what though. My almost two year old loves to look at the pictures while I sing the traditional song but my four year old is catching on and keeps asking me to show him the daddies on the bus going read read read in the picture...

I was first introduced to this book after checking it out from my local library. It immediately became a favorite book for my then 15 month old son, so much so that I reached my renewal limit with it and had to regretfully return it to the library. With Christmas coming up, I knew what would be going under the tree for my son. The look on his face when he unwrapped it was priceless. It was like he was seeing an old friend. We read, well actually sing, this book at least a few times every day. My son loves the singing, and I love that there is so much to be seen and discussed on each page. This book has bright, vibrant colors, is very sturdy (though heavy for a little one), and is endlessly entertaining. I highly recommend this book for anyone with young children, i.e. grandparents, parents, daycare, doctor's offices, etc. It is truly a classic!

I don't usually post comments on things, but I had to return to comment on this book which my 2 y.o. daughter LOVES! What I love most about it is the bright colorful drawings with so much detail. Something different is happening on each page and new characters are introduced. My daughter spends more focused time looking at the pictures in this book than any other book. It helps too that Wheels on the Bus is one of her favorite songs. And yes, we sing different versions than what's written, but she can read it anyway! Plus, we've added so many more verses for some of the animals and people boarding the bus (the bunny goes hop-hop-hop, the cat goes meow... and even the drum on the bus goes boom, boom, boom!) Then since the book ends with a birthday party (another favorite song of hers) we sing even more! And again, so many little things going on in the scene that we talk about all those too. I highly recommend it!

The words in this version of the book are slightly different than what we usually sing but my daughter loves it anyway. For example, we sing "all through the town" and this book says "all day long" and our driver says "move on back" while the book's driver says "tickets please". Not a problem, it's just different. The pictures are hilarious and the holes are awesome! They integrate into each page so well. Plus my daughter gets a kick out of the last page where everyone on the bus goes to a party. Definitely a great purchase!

This is a cute little version of the Wheels on the Bus song where a party bus is going around town and picking up people to go to a little girl's birthday party. The lyrics are fairly accurate to the classic of my own childhood and the images are very cute. The gimmick seems to be the "books with holes" design, where portions of each image carry through to the next page, which is pretty ingenious. Overall, this is a great little book and I can't seem to adequately hide it from my daughter. I've read this book probably 1000 times since I've purchased it.

Nice and sturdy book. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you how to capture an eighteen month old grandsons attention for more than 30 seconds. Still working on that!

A mi hijo le encanta que se lo lea o se lo cante! Y si le pones la canción en YouTube, mejor que mejor;)

2歳の男の子には丈夫な絵本で良かった。装丁もカラフルでアイデアに溢れていた

Sono molto soddisfatta del libro. Acquistato per bimbo di 2 anni e mezzo, perciò apprezzo molto le pagine rigide. Il mio piccolo va matto per la canzoncina e vederla rappresentata nel libro gli permette di cantarla con me. Apprezza molto le pagine "bucate" in corrispondenza dei particolari.

O livro sendo grande atrai bastante as crianças e como está cheio de personagens e animais a atração é ainda maior. Associado a isso você pode cantar o que está escrito nas páginas tanto em inglês quanto em português, podendo ensinar as duas línguas para as crianças, já que se trata daquela música "As rodas do ônibus giram".
